A metal rod of density 7000 kgm-3 and cross-sectional area of 0.001257m2 has a mass of 1.76kg. Calculate its length.

  • A. 0.20m
  • B. 0.25m
  • C. 0.40m
  • D. 0.50m

Correct Answer: A. 0.20m

Explanation

P = \(\frac{M}{AL}\)

L = \(\frac{M}{CA}\)

= \(\frac{1.76}{7000 \times 0.001257}\)

= 0.2m
